Even if those players are improving based on working out? Nobody can just show up and be a great baseball player at the major league level. It takes some work.
Yes, players can play 162 games a year but that doesn't mean they don't need rest. Those players do get days off (team off days) and I would bet there are days where they do less as far as workouts for that day to compensate for staying in the lineup every game.
Yes, we are talking about a general fatigue simulation here and unless the game is going to start having us manage a players pre and post game workouts then it should consider those in its' fatigue model.
I think that the fatigue system needs to be tweaked obviously since pinch-hitters shouldn't receive the same hit as a player out there for nine innings but just saying that players don't fatigue at all unless they are catchers isn't realistic IMO either.
